Posted July 7, 200420 yr sitting in a box outside my office door! I had placed the order w/ Chris and did not expect them so quickly. I left before the mail yesterday and so they were sitting in the TSG box. Luckily they were still here this morning!! Was not sure which model I wanted so I got 3 to play with. All 34" - retail Eldik, M3+, and Gauge SM490A tuned by Golds Factory Tour Division. WOW, quality looks superb. Glad I held out for the real Gauge. They look as nice as my tour Bettinardi, which has to be the most finely constructed and milled putter I had ever seen. Special thanks to Chris for the package deal and extra freebies!!! I had planned on posting the 1 or 2 I did not want for sale, but they are all so nice I am not sure... we'll see.

I'm a Gauge Japan convert...from Camerons :cool:
July 7, 200420 yr I too have gone from a tour Betti to a Gold's factory, the best yet for me and also thanks to Chris for sorting me out!
July 8, 200420 yr That putter on the right in the first pic...do you have any better pictures of it, it looks sweet but i cannot tell. Reminds me of a scotty 2.5 SS except better looking from that angle.
July 8, 200420 yr Author That putter on the right in the first pic...do you have any better pictures of it, it looks sweet but i cannot tell. Reminds me of a scotty 2.5 SS except better looking from that angle. I will snap some new ones in the next day or two. That is the SM490A Gauge Design / Golds Factory slant neck putter. 1 of 2 made in the world, and the other was used by a player on the JPGA (this was his backup). Tour black, black aluinser. As Chris stated, the feel is incredibly soft yet precise. I love the light milling on the face (the Eldik and M3+ are smooth). Took the Eldik to a putting green last night and it is sweet. I use a blade style putter now, and it is obviously much easier to align something like the Eldik. I tried the SM490A and M3+ on the carpet at home. The M3+ is a very solid feeling putter - definitely more so than the other two. To be honest, I like them all! The question will be whether or not I pull the Bettinardi to play with one of them... I will work on better pictures and get them up ASAP...
July 8, 200420 yr Gauge make hands down the best retail putters I am also a converter for Camerons my tour Cam is great but the retail GD putter rate to the tour cams GD has great putters and Chris is the man to always get what you need thats what so great about this website. thanks for the pics.
